Just had a push poll call me about some local development issues

and for some reason right in the middle of it they ask "what is your opinion of the tea party, 1 I am a member of the tea party, 2 I am not a member of the tea party but support their ideas, 3 I do not agree with the tea party"

My response was "I think their a bunch of idiotic neanderthals" which elicited a slight laugh from the polite telemarketer as she responded "I guess that's a 3 then".

Boy that made my day, but I apologize for dissing Neanderthals.

paying attention. What part of the country do you live in where they do push polls about this (even given that it sounds as if the poll may have some other agendas also)?

like "Do you support this development or are you not in favor of economic growth for your community" crap.
